I've Moved!

Although I really liked the nice staff in the PICU, I was happy when they told me I was going to "graduate" to my new room in the regular Pediatric unit (room D615). It's a lot bigger, and my mommy and daddy have a fold out couch to sleep on now, which is a step up from the chair they slept in last night.

I did get a lot of the wires/tubes taken off of me, but they wanted to leave my chest tube in until tomorrow morning just in case, so I've been pretty cranky all day. I did pep up a bit when I got to take a wagon ride from my old room to the new one, and on the way I got to see my "bubby" (brother) for the first time. That made me happy. Also, the Marinkos brought by a bag full of goodies and a new baby doll.

I'm going to eat some dinner and hopefully take a little nap since I've been up all day. Tonight should be my last night with any kind of discomfort, and I'm really looking forward to tomorrow morning when I get the last big tube out so that I can walk around a little bit and maybe head over to the big playroom down the hall...
